Andy and Brady were watching a science-type show on Animal Planet today. I was listening to it in part, but I was also doing some work online… The program was all about how animals seek different plants and herbs for medicinal purposes.

I find that sort of thing not-so-thrilling, but my boys were glued to the TV. At least it was educational.

Andy started out by telling me that we needed to get Brady some peppermint leaves and “something else because when they’re combined, they help relieve asthma stuff.”

So helpful.

The kicker came when I was headed downstairs and Brady followed me down to tell me this:

“Mama, did you know that women in Africa eat plant leaves to relieve pain during labor?”

My children are beyond helpful, aren’t they? Should God bless us with another baby, I can only imagine that Brady will be trying to cram dandelions down my throat between contractions!
